Sturm’s Erineos, 8 miles per hex
Francesco’s third and final close-up map of Minaea expanded northward from the first map, Nemosar, following the action of his story, The Search. Unfortunately, the series ended here. But considering what he moved on to over the next few years, I don’t think we have any complaints.
This sequence of maps is significant in that it was Francesco’s second time tackling the 8 mile per hex scale outside of Brun. He started with Davania, then moved here to Skothar. Only a handful of fan cartographers have attempted this before or since, as we have mostly dwelled on the bigger picture rather than delving in to develop small details. This is a shame, as in many ways the larger scale maps, with their greater detail, are more useful and interesting.
Fan-made Map by Francesco Defferrari (October 2011)
This is an original map created by one of Mystara’s excellent fan cartographers. For more information on the cartographer, including a gallery of all their maps, see also Appendix M: Mappers of Mystara.

Chronological Analysis
This is a fan-made map. It was published in October 2011. The updated Atlas version of this map is not yet available. See also Appendix C for annual chronological snapshots of the area. For the full context of this map in Mystara’s publication history, see the upcoming Let’s Map Mystara 2011. (Please note that it may be some time before the project reaches this point.)
The following lists are from the Let’s Map Mystara project. Additions are new features, introduced in this map; Revisions are changes to previously-introduced features; Hex Art & Fonts track design elements; and finally Textual Additions are potential features found in the related text. In most cases, the Atlas adopts these textual additions into updated and chronological maps.
